There are different tools.
- Nvidia Inspector for getting different information about your card.
- 3dmark, FurMark for running real stress tests. The first for benchmarking it, the second for real stress. CAVEAT: The second can damage the hardware due to overheating, when the card itself is not properly powered and cooled.

Another possibility: Bring up a copy of BOINC on your testbed system and choose a project such as Primegrid which uses graphics cards for computation. Enable the Nvidia as a computation engine. Run BOINC 24/7 for a week on shorter tasks such as Genefer 16. If you see no errors in the completed tasks, the card is not faulty when it is run at the default settings.
